Hey readers!
 
I know I haven’t written in a while– you can blame that on grad school. I’m guessing my posts here will continue to be sporadic at best.
 
Anyway, I’m writing because this past Sunday, journalism student Ishma Stewart, 20, was killed in a driveby shooting on the South Side. Stewart attended Loyola University Chicago, and aspired to work for a magazine.
 
When I read this story, and the many that followed it that called Stewart an “aspiring journalist,” I couldn’t help but think, “She’s kind of like me.”
 
Especially after reading what her brother had to say about her ambitions, “She felt that journalism was a platform for her to go in and do her part to change the world a little bit—and at least expose some of the truth that may be neglected by mainstream society,” he said.
 
So far it seems that the mainstream media is out for the truth in Stewart’s case. Let’s hope they find it.
 
Also, I searched the Internet to find Stewart’s writing and came up cold. Anyone know where I could read her work?
